LETTER: Presidents and pardons
January 9, 2025 - 9:02 pm
The Review-Journal recently carried a wire article on whether Donald Trump should pardon some or all of the Jan. 6 rioters. The article concluded with a quote from Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., stating that anyone who loves peace and security would be offended if rioters were pardoned who had attacked people for doing their jobs. I wonder what Rep. Thompson thinks about those 37 families who lost a loved one to a killer whose sentence was just commuted by President Joe Biden.
